Hey Guys!!
I've been taking Oliver to the dog park everyday for awhile and have FALLEN IN LOVE with the Miniature Australian Shephard...
Does anyone have any info on this breed and know of breeders in the Sacramento [or within 200 miles] area??

Thank you, in advance

Just wanted to say that we have an Aust. Shepherd (standard size) named Stormie. Smart as a whip, that girl! And super sweet! The herding instinct is so strong in her that she was trying to herd our cows as a small pup! The only part I'm not crazy about is the shedding but Stormie is an "outside dog" and takes care of the property for us - like keeping watch out for coyotes and other predators (except in extreme cold weather which we don't have much of in our area). So, the shedding part of her stays outside too. You do need to be prepared for that if you have one inside. I don't have any info. for you regarding the minis though. Good luck!

My old neighbor had two mini Australian Shephards. They were adorable, very smart, very active. He had one that was chocolate and the other was a blue merle! Gorgeous dogs!

Yes, I should add..... be prepared for plenty of exercise for the dog. They love to run and play - another reason Stormie loves to live outside! That and the fact that she's our property protector (we're out in the country).
